Yes, Mike, the problem I find now is that things are scattered over multiple threads.
If, for example, I want to see what people have posted about vises, a post may be anywhere.

Re: Tools?
In reading through various sections, the thought has o occurred to me, several times, that a new section called “Tools of the Trade” would be useful.
It could have subsections for vises, bobbins, scissors, etc.

Re: Head Cement; I need a New Source
After looking around a bit, I found the Windsor Newton varnish is about $3 cheaper than at the art stores.
That Wapsi applicator looks neat, but not at the $9.49 Bass Pro Shop wants, or the $8.50 from Orvis.
Flymasters.com sells it for $1.99.
Any comments from a user?

Re: More stuff
Look in the art section for Windsor Newton Varnish. That’s your head “cement”.
Check Datus Proper.

Re: Starling source...
I think in the past the three sources I've used are 1) Great Feathers, 2) Blue Ribbon and 3) back yard. Last I bought was from Great Feathers and it was a good skin. Great Feathers is a great shop and the owner,Mike Watriss,is great guy. I’ve been heard saying that if Mike sold burgers and beer the...
